San Francisco, US · Full-time · $200,000 – $270,000

About this role

HP IQ is HP's new AI innovation lab, combining startup agility with global scale to build intelligent technologies that redefine how the world works, creates, and collaborates. We're assembling a diverse, world-class team focused on creating an intuitive, adaptive ecosystem across HP's portfolio.

In this role, you will alternate between deep exploratory work and shipping features that fundamentally change how people interact with technology. You'll tackle challenges like designing AI-powered memory systems and creating interfaces that understand and respond to people's needs.

You'll collaborate with designers and engineers to bring experimental ideas to production, defining clear interaction patterns for AI system behavior and feedback loops. The team values creative vision paired with the technical ability to build and validate ideas using real AI technology.

This role offers the space to explore challenging problems while maintaining a clear focus on shipping products that work. You'll help reshape how humans and computers work together, creating technology that feels obvious once experienced.

Requirements
